Bangladesh has formally requested a new loan programme from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), seeking to move beyond the lending arrangement approved under the ousted Sheikh Hasina government.

The request was made through a letter seeking a new IMF-supported financial arrangement to back the country's economic reform agenda, according to a statement issued on Wednesday by IMF Mission Chief for Bangladesh Ivo Krznar.
